My research interests focus on the neural and physiological processes that take place during emotional experiences. I am also interested in the brain functions that support memory for emotional, personal experiences, and how this type of memory develops. In my Master's research, I investigated differences in physiological activity for emotions like anger, fear, happiness, and sadness.
